The past 5–10 years have brought in a new era in the care of patients with thyroid cancer,
with the introduction of transformative diagnostic and management options. Several …

Background Minimally invasive treatment of thyroid tumors has become increasingly
common, but has mainly focused on benign thyroid tumors, whereas thermal ablation of …

Background Microwave ablation (MWA) has attracted interest as a minimally invasive
treatment for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, comparisons between MWA and …

Background Microwave ablation (MWA) has achieved favorable results in the treatment of
papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) confined in glandular parenchyma. However …
